AYM

Time for friends, faith, and formation for life!

Presently AYM hosts once a month social events for teens – all high school teens are welcome
As we are starting anew in this Fall of 2014, our events are still growing and will continue to change. Here are some things that have happened. .

Sept 14th – Ice Cream Initiation into AYM – a night to play games, reconnect with old friends, have some ice cream, and see how God fits into that sundae

Oct 19th – Spoons, Scripture, and Sweets: Come to the Pine room so we can plan the largest game of spoons ever, do a round of trick or treat “Scripture style” (yes, there will be treats given if you can figure out the clue”) and be present just to chill and meet a great group of peers who want to do something good in the world

Nov 15-16th - Anchor retreat

Dec 6th Taize night. IF you have never been to Taize, now is the time to experience this awesome meditative evening that people of all faith traditions love to attend. We will meet after Taize for pizza and conversation.

2015 events all are to be planned and will take place at least once a month. We are looking into OPEN GYM dates! Stay tuned for more information.

Peer Ministry
In the spring of each year, incoming freshman through juniors are invited to apply to be a peer minister. What is a peer minister? A person who wants to be a leader in their faith both in how they live their lives and also in offering and growing in their leadership skills to plan events for Ascension Youth Ministry. For more information contact the Youth Minister.

Ascension Catholic Church - Did you get your Catholic Relief Services rice bowl at Mass yesterday? Or on Ash Wednesday? Father Larry blessed them on Ash Wednesday. If not, or if you'd like another one, we have plenty available at all the doors of the church. This is CRS' 40th year of doing the rice bowl collection during the 40 days! Give. Pray. Fast.

Ascension Catholic Church - The Gospel of Mark says little about how Jesus is tempted in the desert. Notice that yesterday we simply heard that the Spirit sent Jesus into the wilderness, and he was tempted there. Matthew and Luke both spell out what the devil said to Jesus. Mark simply gives this unique detail, "he was among wild beasts." Here, British painter Stanley Spencer (1891-1959) fills the frame with the figure of Christ looking inward, examining a scorpion, facing temptation, strengthening faith. What temptations come at you in these first days of Lent?

Ascension Catholic Church - The reign of God is like the Muslims who ring round a synagogue so that the Jews can pray in safety and peace. From parishioner Kate Kinser.
